Prograde/retrograde buttons disappeared & can't place maneuvering nodes.

This seems to have been a savegame issue, as in looking back at my Mission Control, it's now un-upgraded (as are a couple other parts of the complex.) Re-upgrading them has seemed to do the trick for now. I'll follow up if the SG drops them again.

 

This is on 1.8.1.2694 on OSX. No mods. I'm playing a Science game from scratch. I upgraded my tracking station once and got the prograde/retrograde buttons next to the nav ball, but when I upgraded again, they disappeared and I can't create maneuvering nodes.

Being short on cash in the early game is always a problem in this mode, and I've never found that part of it to be much fun, so I modded my savegame, adding $5M. That is the only unusual thing about this game. However, the issues didn't start with the mod - they started with the tracking station upgrade

 

  THanks.

Do you know the ingame debug/cheat menu? In Mac is something like ALT+FN+F12= Debug , but maybe have to google that.

You can add money, you can upgrade buildings, science points, everything.And without mods!Maybe something there will fix your problem!
